> Tools Directory
> Hello everyone,
>
> Have you seen the (not so) new Building Energy Software Tools Directory
> yet? Check it out.
>
>
>
> Or better yet, check it out online
> *https://buildingenergysoftwaretools.com/*
> <https://buildingenergysoftwaretools.com/>. This is a
> rebuilt/reconstituted version of the older DOE-hosted directory. The new
> directory is based on a more modern CMS-based platform, has functionality
> for filter, sort, rate and review, as well as an API. Some of the old
> listings (e.g., ones corresponding to programs that can no longer be found
> on the web) are gone. There are new listings as well.
>
> The new directory uses dynamic, user-generated content. If you have a
> building-energy related software or software-related service (e.g.,
> training) and want that product, service to be listed, simply create an
> account and one or more entries. There is no need to submit any forms. Once
> the entries are published—IBPSA and DOE curate the directory to ensure that
> all entries are legitimate (i.e., not spam) and relevant (i.e., related to
> building-energy software)—you can update them at any time to reflect new
> releases or simply provide more or new information.
>
> The API is still limited but allows organizations to filter the directory
> to create dynamic listings. For instance, DOE’s previously static listing
> for EnergyPlus training services has been replaced by the link:
> *https://buildingenergysoftwaretools.com/?capabilities=Training+Services&keys=EnergyPlus*
> <https://buildingenergysoftwaretools.com/?capabilities=Training+Services&keys=EnergyPlus>.
> The API is freely available, and we plan to expand and refine it over time
> as new use cases emerge. In fact, we will continue to do the same for the
> directory as a whole.
>
> Again, if you have a relevant software or software-service please consider
> creating a listing on this resource.
